Introduction to project Orleans for your distributed applications
Orleans is a cross-platform framework from the Microsoft Research team that helps you to build robust and scalable distributed applications. Orleans has been around for many years and is battle-tested by a number of internal Microsoft products and teams.
In this code-heavy introductory session, I will explain what the Orleans framework is all about: What is the distributed virtual actor model? What are grains? How is a shared state stored in a distributed application?
Finally, I will show you how I implemented Orleans in one of my personal projects to enable easier scaling.
